ISLAMABAD (AP) --- The Pakistan Cricket Board has shifted the remaining eight
matches of its Pakistan Super League Twenty20 competition to the United Arab
Emirates following rising military tensions between India and Pakistan.
The PCB confirmed the relocation to Dubai in a statement released early Friday,
citing growing concerns among overseas players and the need to prioritize their
safety. Once logistical arrangements are completed, the final schedule,
including revised dates and venues, will be announced.
Rawalpindi, Multan and Lahore were due to host the remaining games.
"The PCB has always stood by the position that politics and sports need to be
kept apart," PSB chairman Mohsin Naqvi said in a statement. "However, the PCB
has decided to shift the remaining matches to UAE."
